“Ciprian Udrescu searches thoroughly and graphically interrogates anything: horses, insects or space creatures, streets and roofs, studio corners and his own person. He places himself in a permanent state of capturing a significant vision out of the daily images. He is one of the few drawers who renders with organic easiness (even surgical, I would say), the perspectival relations between forms. He is acute like an engraving needle, which could very well stand as his badge.”

Aurelia Mocanu, art critic.

“Ciprian’s notebooks

I do know Ciprian since he was a student. He was, as we say in Romanian, mute like a swan. He drew more than anyone else, communicating immensely, but only through his drawings.

Like we, common people, choose different topics in our conversations, he chose different subjects in his notebooks, worked one subject, then changed to another. One can see in those mesmerizing notebooks, which they themselves are also handmade by him, a world of subjects, of thoughts.

What the public can see in a exhibition presenting Ciprian’s works is just the peak of an iceberg, small but so powerful! I am one of the lucky ones who could see more of the whole, giant world of his leonardesque notebooks ( an yes, I do mean it, this comparison with Leonardo. The only difference is that this is a different era…). Everything is present in these notebooks: nature, human body, dreams, fantastic creatures, friendship, love. Drawing, text, collage, photo, painting but mostly drawing. Line is always his language, even when he paints. I am grateful to be a witness of his great gift. Thank you, Ciprian!”
